The main characters are Ray Weiss (Tom Blair), who operates a lumber mill battling against the recession in a small town, and his wife Jean (Ellen McLaughlin). A letter from his daughter, who is away at university, to her step mother accuses him of incest. He denies it and the wife does not know who to trust out of the two people she is closest to. With the most slack editing of all time, about a quarter of the film consists of footage of streams, roads, hedges and the timber mill in self indulgent lingering minute-plus takes in which nothing happens, the calm contrasting with the emotional turmoil. Tragic, mysterious, well acted and exceptionally dull. For people that thought Last Days was a good film. Similar to the far superior Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
1/5
